More info The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HMRC are poised to make a significant adjustment affecting thousands of individuals on 10 means-tested benefits in the coming days. This imminent change will see those receiving welfare payments, such as Universal Credit, having their money deposited into their bank accounts on a different day than usual. When payment dates coincide with a bank holiday or weekend, the funds are transferred on the first working day before. Consequently, this bank holiday's payment will be dispatched on Friday, August 22, rather than Monday, August 25. Those anticipating payments on August 23 or 24 will also receive their money on August 22. In the UK, over 20 million people, nearly a third of the population, receive financial aid from the DWP. The Mirror has reported that the amount beneficiaries will receive will not change, remaining consistent with the previous payment unless there has been a change in circumstances which would affect the amount due. Those expecting a payment on August 22 who do not receive it should contact the DWP at their earliest convenience. The DWP and HMRC will pay these benefits early in August:. Universal Credit Pension Credit Personal Independence Payment (PIP) State Pension Attendance Allowance Carer's Allowance Disability Living Allowance Income Support Jobseeker's Allowance Child Benefit (paid by HMRC) Child Benefit payments Parents are being warned to act promptly or face losing their Child Benefit payments. The tax office is dispatching thousands of letters to families with teenagers, requesting updates on their future education plans - with Child Benefit currently at £26.05 a week for the eldest or only child. For each additional child, parents receive £17.25 a week. However, payments automatically stop on August 31 on or after the child's 16th birthday, unless parents renew their claim when their child continues in education. Parents whose children are continuing their education have until August 31 to inform HMRC, or their payments will automatically cease. Families can continue to receive the financial support until their child turns 19 and is enrolled in an apprenticeship programme or the following education schemes:. A levels or Scottish Highers International Baccalaureate (IB) Home education - if the course began before their child turned 16, or after 16 if they have a statement of special educational needs and it was assessed by the local authority T levels NVQs, up to level 3 Child Benefit will also continue for children studying on one of these unpaid approved training courses:.
